Why, exactly, do you choose not to believe in God's existence? What is the logical or factual basis for your disbelief? I would like to hear your arguments and not simply reject them out of hand. Believe me, I will try to follow your argument. My experience has been, however, that arguments that lack the foundation provided by an acceptance of the existence of an absolute being also lack any semblance of order. In fact, they are generally rather chaotic.
By the way, you seem rather fond of Satan and of Hell. What is the logic or factual basis for your apparent believe in their existence? There is a logical basis for their existence but it also presumes the existence of God. If there is no God, I see no logical reason why either Satan or Hell should exist either. In fact, it seems to me that the believe in Satan and Hell and the denial of the existence of the Creator and Sustainer of the universe is a clear example of the chaotic thinking I mentioned earlier. I truly doubt you will ever see me in Hell, and I do hope you do not find yourself there without me either.
Right now I don't believe our little game is at a stalemate. Rather it seems to me that you're wanting to walk away from the table with the game unfinished, a "silent" withdrawal. That is not stalemate. Well, c'est la vie!

... my grandmother (1887-1970) used to tell me lotsa stories ... she grew up with horses and wagons, wheat and corn, and learned about trains and cars and planes ... then radio, television, news reporting, telephones, medicine, architecture, etc. Considering the technological evolution of her era, coupled with her vocabulary and sensitivity, her stories had lasting impact upon me. Hers was an era that nearly started from zero. We all today have been taught and cultured and raised to "expect" evolution to carry us ... that was a door that opened during her lifetime.

...and what about those unsung explorers 10-15,000 years ago who migrated from Asia to North (and ultimately South) America. Their journey was fraught with huge barriers and unpredictable events.
